Key points
- Seven points from five games is Napoli's worst start in years; De Laurentiis believes the real campaign begins after the international break

- Nine games in 29 days from October 10 to November 8 will define Napoli's season and European ambitions
Summary
Corriere dello Sport assesses Napoli's faltering start after the draw at Fiorentina, arguing the squad lacks the aggression and clinical finishing needed to compete. While Gilmour has impressed and Politano responded to criticism with a solid display, the team concedes too much and struggles to convert chances through its forwards and wingers. The analysis suggests that with key players returning from injury during the three-week break, Napoli must find a different mentality and sharper execution to avoid losing ground on title contenders.
